Spin cycle My washer was going through the spin cycle and seemed to get off balance and stopped spinning. The wash machine will not spin or agitate now.

The load has become unbalanced. Pause the machine in mid-cycle (do not Stop it) and when it ceases spinning, open it and re-distribute the load evenly. Then press Pause again to continue the cycle. Note: if you Stop it, then restart when finished balancing, the machine will start washing from the beginning instead of continuing from where you Paused it.

This happens to me to. It is because it believes it has gone out of balance and has stopped and gone ahead and timed out making you think it has completed it's cycle. I do not have a solution to this other that I am thinking of chucking this washing machine out the door and buying an older machine.

Hi, Washing machines can become unbalanced when the wash load has too much weight in one area of the basket. A machine in good working order can handle most problems through its balancing mechanisms. However, when washing heavy single items such as comforters, the machine's tub can become so lopsided that it damages the washer.

Washing machines that get unbalanced can shake, make banging noises, and even more across the floor. When machines are secured in one place, they can vibrate and bang so much the entire house shakes and things fall off shelves. This is not good for the washer. Bolts can come loose, and parts can break.

When washing heavy items such as pillows or down coats, stay near the washer so you can correct any balance problems as they occur. Some washers have an automatic shut-off feature when they become too far off-balance. If yours does not, stop the spin cycle, open the lid, and redistribute the load. If this is a continuing problem, you may want to wash heavy items at a coin-operated laundry in a heavy-duty machine.

Take care

Here is a Fix if your machine model is a FAV6800A or FAV9800A failing in Spin Cycle with dC/uC unbalance errors.

Fix the Clutch issue and save your 1$K machine. Here is my Clutch Fix post. You can redistribute the wash load in your FAV6800A or FAV9800A till the cows come one and you will continue error out in Spin Cycle of the wash cycle or a Spin Only Cycle. I explain in this post the fix and how to diagnose the issue to the Clutch Pulley One-Way Roller Clutch bearing.

If you just need Clutch maintenance you could be back in service today. You or someone you know can do this and I will help with any questions…………Rich

there should be 2 or 3 springs that hold it, they mite have broke, take off back panel an check.

If it makes this noise in the agitate mode and not during the spin cycle, I would suspect that the transmission is going.

Get the model number. It may have an off balance switch that is stuck. Try moving agitator like its off balance and then turn on.

having the same trouble.. works in wash cycle, agitates fine, but mine actually slips the belt in the spin cycle..

lid switch is broke lever probley broke off or screw holes broke out due to off balance load forcing tub over against switch lever
